ikanreed:Yeah, people who do this are terrible people, and already violating the law. I don't know why you'd think they'd stop short of minor porn.

Since in most states there are not laws preventing revenge porn (his included), he was not breaking the law. Of course he was being a spiteful scumbag, but unfortunately that's not illegal.Ladies, if you don't want your nude pictures posted online, don't take or allow nude photos of yourself to be taken.

See, this is where Kodak/Polaroid are missing a real marketing opportunity. They should be pimping the virtues of the instant camera (ie, privacy; no electronic file, no photo processing necessary, so the pervs at Walmart or Walgreens don't get an opportunity to run off copies of your girlfriend).

Now, sure, you could still scan a picture and turn it into an electronic file, but I doubt most dudes are going to go to that kind of trouble.

Or you know, don't let pictures of yourself naked be taken. I never understood the reasoning behind wanting naked photos/videos. One day your kids will stumble upon them whether from curiosity or cleaning out your house after you die.

And?

It's not like a mature adult can't understand the fact that at some point their parents got busy with each other. It's not something you want to find but it really shouldn't be a life altering revelation and it's not like you have to inspect every photo or watch all of the video.

It can be a neat way to keep the home fires lit when you can't be together.

The problem arises when the relationship is a temporary one (breakup/divorce) with one partner feeling jilted or when the pictures/videos are otherwise compromised (phone or computer contents revealed to others in any form)... even an otherwise happy and committed couple can have such things get out into the open. Thus, it's best to not allow them to be taken even though there might be a legit and useful purpose for such things.

So as much as I think the guy is a scumbag - the rest of the article talks about making it illegal to post "revenge porn." How would you prove that it was for revenge? I mean some chick could consent to the posting of her picture and then suddenly say she never allowed it to get back at her ex....

Ha one of my teenage memories was finding a Polaroid of some girls snatch while walking around in my neighborhood. My friends and I ended up putting it in some random reference book in our school library. Curious whatever happened to it.....

I made good use of it. Thanks. I'd be happy to send it back to you. It is kind of sticky though. Don't lick it.

See, "some girl's snatch." Not "a girl I went to school with," but "some girl."

Unidentifiable. You want to leave yourself some plausible deniability in case you ever run for president. If you don't want to do just the crotch shot and decide to go for the arty full-body, I recommend a mask. Reagan, Clinton, Obama, whatever turns you on.

Whenever I see articles like that I use the googles to find out more. There's always a LinkedIn link for "find professionals named X". I bet they have a pleasant couple of days saying that they aren't that person.

Assuming that your parents die at a normal age of say 80 years old, yeah it's kind of a big deal not knowing that your medical history has no actual resemblance to your genetics. There is nothing wrong with keeping it a secret when you are a kid but at some point people need to know.

So What? Found the naked Polaroids of my parents when I was about 10. Put them back and went on with my life.

Have several pics of my current girlfriend naked and some of us having sex. Would never put them online. For the douchebags out there consider this. If this girl knows your friends and social circle it could get out that you share naked photos. That severely limits the chances your next girl will let you take them. Be smart and keep them to yourself

Hyde: Hey, Forman, you have any naked pictures of your grandma?Eric: No!Hyde(laughing and handing him his deceased grandfather's box of photos): You do now!

No written release? No posting. Subpoena the sites, demand an immediate takedown, and sue the poster. As long as we're stuck with the DMCA, might as well use it.

/A real cold scumbag would post it from the girl's own phone or PC, as her posting her own work implies consent, but that takes a level of planning most angry scumbags don't have.
